Stag & Heart Redwork Pillow
The pattern is here, from a Russian magazine ... //www.pindiy.com/thread-173957-1-1.html?_dsign=912e52a1The pattern called for a bright red color for both cross stitch and backstitch. I used slightly darker colors, DMC 815 for cross stitch and DMC 902 for backstitch.
This is the first pillow I've made and my first time fiddling with corded edging. It came out OK I think. I hand sewed it together since I don't have a sewing machine.
I'm new to cross stitch and haven't seen the backstitch being used in a different color to add finer details before, thats awesome Oh wow. I have seen this in that magazine and thought it was amazing. Great job. very nice My goodness, this is beautiful. I must congratulate you on this piece. I love your red work. Designs in a single colour look very powerful.:) ¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*• Good job, well done •*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸ Beautiful work and finished very nice. Thanks for sharing.
